SHOT BY STAPLES.

The Son of the Saltwater Millionaire
Shoots Charles A. Winship, of Min
neapolis.
FREEroRr, ILL.,, Aug. 24.-An attempt
at murder was made here last night. G.
A. Winship, of Minneapolis, one of the
most prominent horse owners in the
Northwest, was shot at 7:3O O'Clock in
the hallway leading to the Brewster
House dining room. The man who did
the shooting is David B. Staples, of Still
water. Winship is shot in the breast,
about three inches above and to the
right of the heart. The physician, after
examining the wound, is of the opinion
that it will not prove fatal. He failed to
find the bullet, however, and the result
cannot yet be told. Both men are
horse men. Staples is the owner of Zig
and Winship of Butterscotch. Zig was
the favorite in the 2:24 race yesterday,
and was distanced after winning one
heat. The quarrel is supposed to have
originated from pOol-box trans
actions, in which they were asso'
ciates. Staples was arrested about ter
minutes after the shooting and lodged
in Jail. He is the son of Isaac Staples
the Saltwater millionaire, and it is stated
that only some two years ago it cost his
relatives S., 900 to get him out of scrape
Staples refused to talk about the matter
saving that his victim could be relied
upon to give an explanation. Mr.. Win
ship says he can assign no cause for the
shooting One of the Staples trotters
was badly beaten IN the races, anc
1t is animated that he accused Win
ship of being the cause of it. Staples
was more or less intoxicated when ht
committed the deed. 1t is said that hi
was at one time an inmate of a lunati'
asylum

A Case Of Deafness.

ONCE OF Shaw g. Baldwin's Wholesale No
ton House, Toledo, O., Dec IL, 1879
F. j. Cheney & Co., Toledo O.-Dear
Sirs: About three months ago, noticing
letter addressed to you in the Bee
from Gen. Slevin, in reference to the
cure of his son by the use of Halls
Catrrrh Cure, were induced to COM
mence the use of it for our daughter
Nellie now fourteen years old, who has
been suffering from catarrh for about
eight years, during which time she has
been treated by one of the best physic-
ians in the city. We have also tried
the use of almost all the known RENE
dies for catarrh, with no more success
than temporary relief. Many nights
have we laid awake to hold her mouth
open to keep her from strangling. Her
hearing had also become affected. We
were afraid that she would never recov-
err. We have now used six bottles of
HALLS CATARRH CURE, and we believe
Nellie to be entirely cured. In few
days after commencing the use of it we
noticed decided change for the better,
and from that right along she has inn
proved, until now she breathes as easily
as any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is perfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and withe hope that 9TH
ers may be benefited in like manner
We can hardly realize that such a
change could be effected in 80 short a
time after battling with the disease Sc
long. We are still using the remedy
at intervals, as it seems to build up hel
system. You are at liberty to use this
in any manner you see proper
We are yours, truly,

A REUNION of ex-confederates was held
at Dallas, Texas, occupying three DAYS of
last week. 1t was very enthusiastic
gathering, and there was great out
pouring of those who wore the grey in
the ''lste unpleasantness." OF course
speech making was one OF the main feat
ures Of the three days program, and it
can truthfully be said that there was no
unseeming exhibition of disloyalty. In
fact, the speakers all disclaimed having
any other feeling but one of friendship
for the North, and were willing to accept
the results of the war and stand together
with the "boys IN blue" for the future
preservation of the Union. There was
some denunciation of Fairchild and Tut
tie, and few of the speakers seemed to
put the justice of the two sides on more
equal basis than loyal Norlherners could
admit, but in view of the good feelings
expressed these side outbursts can be
easily overlooked.

THE Iowa Republican state convention
met yesterday and is reported to be the
largest gathering of Iowa Republicans
for many years. John Brennan, of
Sioux City, was made temporary chair
man and made very telling speech.
He raked the Democracy on all corners
with his Irish eloquence. He said:
"We join our Republican brethren of
Ohio" he said, Sin the hearty declara-
ton that we have placed the war and its
hatred behind us. There is not in this
convention, nor on the soil of Iowa so
far as | know, man who entertains
feeling of malice toward the people of
any section of our common country. The
dearest wish of Iowa respecting the war
of the rebellion is to see its results re-
spected. We regret that two distin-
guished Democrats are perniciously act
i've in provoking the very feelings which
they pretend to condemn. One is the
venerable Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi,
the other Grover Cleveland, chief exec
utiye of the republic. Brennan de-
nounced the rebel flag order, then dis
cussed the tariff, surplus revenue and
other national issues at length. Turning
TO state issues, ne euloglZeQ LarraDee'S
administration, declared that saloons
were abolished in so per cent. of the
counties of the state. and that prohibit
ton had passed the stage of experiment
and had come to stay. The convention,
after appointing the usual committees,
adjourned until this afternoon.
The convention was very enthusiastic
oyer Senator Allison, though no formal
endorsement of him as presidential
candidate was made, it being considered
the best policy not to boom the Senator
ont of season. The platform adopted
declares in favor of vigorous enforce
ment of the prohibition law. Governor
Larabee was renominated for governor
by reclamation.

A Decision on the Recent Complaint Of
the Jobbers' Union.
An Important Matter.

Especial to the FREE PREss)
ST. PAUL, Aug. 19.-In the matter Of the
complaint of the Manufacturers and
Jobbers' Union of Mankato against the
Omaha, Milwaukee and Northwestern
Railroads, the railroad commissioners
have filed supplemental decision. The
charge in complaint read as follows:
"We further allege violation dissection
s, in that they carry freight from st.
Paul to various stations on their road at
less rates than provided by them in
their distance tariffs as published by
them in compliance with this section"
In the supplemental decision the COM
missioners say: "The intent and mean
ing of this charge, as we understand it, is
that the distance tariffs of railroad
company subject 10 the laws of this
State after once adopted by the company
in pursuance of section 8 of said act, and
until changed or modified by authority

standard for determining the legal

applies, and that 80 called SPECIAL rates

they would be, as determined by the

are in conflict with the railway act. Tht
Commission, after protracted consldera
ton of the subject. are unable to adop
this view. The so-called distance tariff
were in use before the recently adopte'
legislation and we find nothing in tn
act to indicate that the term is used il
any different or modified. sense tha
heretofore or that it is to play any othe
: or more comprehensive part IN the mod
} of transacting the business of the raj

TO BE CONTESTED.
The Mankato Manufacturers and
Jobbers Union VIII Appeal to
the Courts.

A meeting of the Mankato Manufac-
turers and JobbersUnion was held Mon
day night IN the Board of Trade rooms, at
which the matter of taking into the
courts the recent decision of the Rail-
road and Warehouse Commissioners
regarding the granting of special tariffs
out of ST. Paul and Minneapolis was left
with the committee on transportation.
1t is the intention of this committee to
take the matter into the courts at once
and make a test case of 1t. Mankato
counsel will be employed by the COM
mittee. While this case Is brought mere
ly to get the decision of the Railroad
Commissioners reversed, it is likely that
action will be brought to impose the
penalty upon the railroads.
A complaint will be filed with the In
terstate commission against the c. & n
W. c., NJ. & St. P. and c. r. l. & P
Railroad companies, setting forth thai
the rates now in effect between Chicago
and Mankato are not equitable as com
pared with the rates from Chicago t.
Albert Lea, Waseca and Waterville
which are from 20 to 40 per cent. lowe
for about per cent. less distance.
The matter of through transportation
from New York to st. Paul and Mime
apolis and Mankato by rail and lake wa
discussed, but no action was taken. Tht
matter will come up at future meet
ing.

THE new grain rates were announced
Tuesday by the Northern Pacific and
Manitoba roads. The only change from
the old rates is reduction at all points,
the relation between the old rates from
any point to either Minneapolis or Du-
luth being preserved. The Milwaukee.
& st. Paul has also reduced the rates.
from points on the Fargo Southern three
cents to meet the new rates, and transit
rates have been reduced similarly. This
will cause the Chicago & Northwestern
TO meet the reduction. Rates from
points on the Northern Pacific north
west of Brainerd are the same either to
Minneapolis or Duluth, but on the Lit
tie Falls & Dakota division the rate to
Minneapolis is less than to Duluth.
From Little Falls the rate is reduced
one cent, being now II cents to Mime
apolis and IL cents to Duluth. At Sank
Center 1t Is LII cents to Minneapolis and
II to Duluth, and at Morris IL cents TO
Minneapolis and Is to Duluth. The
general is about 10 per cent. from the
old rates.

The national conference of charities,
which meets in Omaha, Aug. %, is an
annual gathering of what may be called
the very best people engaged in humane
and charitable enterprise. They are
men who have for years lsbored for the
the betterment of the helpless poor in
the infirmaries, lor the improvement of
the condition of inmates Of insane and
imbicile asylums, prisons and jalls. The
society that will meet at Omaha ap-
proaches as near as any organization in
the world. The delegates may be as in
divIduals strong partisans and strict Sec
tarlans, but in the national conference
they drop the partisan and sectarian.
Their devotion TO the cause of humanity
shuts out the consideration that would
move either the partisan or the contro-
versalist. They are 80 free from the
prejudices and irritations that have in
terfered somewhat with charitable work
among the churches that the strictest
churchman would hardly be recognized
as a churchman at all, because in this
work Catholics, Protestants and Jews
stand shoulder to shoulder striving earn
estly for the betterment of the condition
of the unfortunate of the race.
